65daysofstatic will be live on Radio 1, kinda, this Thursday when their Peel Session is aired.

The band recorded the session shortly after Peel's death last month. Whilst recording at Maida Vale, the Sheffield quartet apparently ran into pop crumpet, so I'm told, Daniel Bedingfield. No word on whether or not a collaboration's on the cards, but we're thinking not...

In addition to the Peel Session, 65days will also play at a Playlouder Singles Club bash at the Camden Barfly on December 17th, with Ludes and some other band we don't really know. A full UK tour will kick off in February.

Finally, the band's debut album, The Fall Of Math, picked up the UK Album Of The Year title at the second annual Play Dead awards. Well, I say awards - it's not like they got anything. Still, it was voted for by readers of the magazine, the website for which is here, so the 65 boys must be doing something right.
